J&J commences COVID-19 vaccine phase 3
Johnson & Johnson has begun a 60,000-subject phase 3 evaluation of its COVID-19 vaccine. The trial will enroll participants in the U.S. and other countries with a high incidence of COVID-19 to generate data to bolster emergency use authorization early next year.
J&J submitted details of phase 3 to ClinicalTrials.gov last month. At that time, J&J targeted to commence enrolling subjects in the first week of September. Today, around two weeks after the targeted start of recruitment, J&J said it had started a phase 3 trial of Ad26 vector-based vaccine Ad26.COV2.S, now also known as JNJ-78436735.
